Shipt Sips: Falling in love at The Collins bar

Have you ever been to Birmingham?It’s where Shipt’s HQ is based, and it’s, well, magical. We’re surrounded by cobblestone streets, rainbow LED tunnels, coffee roasters, historic landmarks, and so much more. Walking around downtown during the week, you can feel the bustle and hustle of the city. The air smells like ambition, creativity, progress with a whiff of street-side buttermilk donuts.A few blocks down from us is The Collins Bar. This speakeasy-esque bar makes its mark by rejecting drink menus and creating specific experiences for each person in each glass. Ask for something comforting, and get something with smoky whiskey, sweet honey and spicy ginger. In the mood for something fun and different? Tell them a spirit or flavor of choice, and the possibilities are endless.

We asked Josh Schaff, The Collins’ master of mixing, to shake up something special for Valentine’s day, and he answered the call.

We’re in love, and we aren’t afraid to show it. We present to you, Shipt Sips!
